I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody! Instead of a bum (*crosses out "bum") -- guy who is really busy and has minimal Photoshop skills but pencil skills to rival Da Vinci and a real big need for an iPad. Empire! Give your iPad to me! I have 7 brothers and sisters, and my parents are missionaries. I've lived in China all my life, and it would go to a good cause and you would feel good about yourselves! Just sayin...

This design is made up of EXACTLY 72 torpedoes, which to viewers of the film will suggest something ominous and foreboding....

Corpse-walking is an old mystic custom that originated in India in the 6th Century. Khan Noonien Singh, being an Indian himself (obviously), knew this ancient practice and, in the far future, was one of only a few dozen people who could perform this dangerous task. It involved walking over the corpses of the dead, while chanting blessings in Hindu. When Khan offered Kirk to walk over their cold corpses, he was misunderstood by the white men.

Here is my entry for this contest. I've combined both digitally drawn and photo manipulated art work; if I had heard about this sooner, I would've hand drawn everything. For step by step/other stuff feel free to check out my Tumblr!

Being honest, compared to some amazing works of art on here, I know I have no chance of winning. So I thought I would do something else anyway. I just thought that the Klingons are going to be very unhappy with Mr Harrison and will have some sort of wanted poster. The wording says "Revenge is a dish best served cold", which coincidentally is what Khan Noonien Singh (in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) refers to as "an old Klingon proverb". Am I getting all meta?

Thanks for all your entries. As ever it was a tough decision but the winner for this one is Jeehde2 - congratulations! Please email your details to ally@empiremagazine.com and I'll arrange prize delivery.

The team would like to give honourable mentions to Erictonic and Tomward whose submissions we felt were particularly galactic!

I'll second that Mateyboy ...although it may have seemed (to some) a wee teeny bit unfair, a professional — who does this kind of thing for a living — submitting his work, the fact remains that Paul Shipper's effort is out of this world!

...and in my own humble opinion it's lightyears ahead of everything else submitted. No offence folks but Shipper's work is truly awesome in my opinion!!
